Obama trolls planning to sabotage our reps offices when they are back home - read this email forwarded from the obama site

So - here is how they are wasting my reps time at home! It is horriblehow they plan to mobilize a group or groups of misinformed neighborsto insult our country, positioning them to be perceived as patriots,maybe even to confuse newbie patriots, only to rail them into are-dressed acorn or something. They also stole the acronym for theOhio Freedom Alliance, most likely the strongest freedom force in ourstate!

I have posted this everywhere, but had to post here too. There aremany freedom-loving groups making plans for visiting reps while theyare home, and I think they are going to try to blend in and then makeit look like the people there were there for their event and reallythe others were there for a freedom-esque OFA type event, not an ofatype event below.

All throughout August, our members of Congress are back in town.Insurance companies and partisan attack groups are stirring up fearwith false rumors about the President's plan, and it's extremelyimportant that folks like you speak up now.

So we've cooked up an easy, powerful way for you to make a bigimpression: Office Visits for Health Reform.

All this week, OFA members like you will be stopping by localcongressional offices to show our support for insurance reform. Youcan have a quick conversation with the local staff, tell your personalstory, or even just drop off a customized flyer and say that reformmatters to you.

We'll provide everything you need: the address, phone number, and openhours for the office, information about how the health care crisisaffects your state for you to drop off (with the option of adding yourpersonal story), and a step-by-step guide for your visit.

According to our records, you live near Rep. Jim Jordan's office inMansfield, OH.

Sign up now to visit Rep. Jim Jordan's office in Mansfield this week.

(Not your representative, or think there might be another officethat's easier for you to get to? Click here to find a differentoffice.)

As you've probably seen in the news, special interest attack groupsare stirring up partisan mobs with lies about health reform, and it'sgetting ugly. Across the country, members of Congress who supportreform are being shouted down, physically assaulted, hung in effigy,and receiving death threats. We can't let extremists hijack thisdebate, or confuse Congress about where the people stand.

Office Visits for Health Reform are our chance to show that the vastmajority of American voters know that the cost of inaction is too highto bear, and strongly support passing health reform in 2009.

Don't worry if you've never done anything like this before. Thecongressional staff is there to listen, and your opinion as aconstituent matters a lot. And if you bring a friend, you'll have morefun and make an even greater impact.

Wherever you live, these visits matter: Many representatives arepushing hard toward reform, and they are taking a lot of heat fromspecial interests. They deserve our thanks and need our support tocontinue the fight. But those who are still putting insurancecompanies and partisan point-scoring ahead of their constituents mustknow that voters are watching -- and that we expect better.

Earlier this week, the President wrote that "this is the moment ourmovement was built for" and asked us all to commit to join at leastone event this month. This is the way to answer that call, and rise tothe challenge of this moment together.

Thank you for going the extra mile when it matters the most,

Mitch
